Silver Birch (Betula Pendula) 1-1.2M Bare Root Tree

Product Description

Beautiful & elegant, its no wonder that Silver Birch trees have been an inspiration to British poets & artists for centuries, & now you can grow one in your own garden! The long, slender trunks of mature trees have beautiful, white, papery bark with dark cracks running through it, contrasting beautifully with its deep-green, triangular leaves, that droop down from attractive twigs. In autumn, the leaves turn a brilliant golden-yellow colour, before falling just before winter sets in. Preferring acidic soils, Silver Birch will however grow in all conditions, & provide you with year-round interest for many years to come. Perfect for planting right now, we supply a 1-1.2m bare-root tree which will ultimately reach around 5m tall. Please note that the silver colour will develop as the tree ages & the bark begins to peel.
